Pure Powder Adventure

 

The Pure Powder Adventure is designed to leave some options open, so that we can make selections best suited to the snow conditions.  We'll start in the Rockies of Alberta, spending a day either at Sunshine Village or Lake Louise, depending on the snow.  Sunshine Village offers the longest, steepest, in-bounds descent in the Canadian Rockies, the Delirium Dive, which has a controlled entrance, allowing only those with avalanche rescue equipment to enter.  Lake Louise offers a huge variety of long runs ranging from open bowls to steep couloirs, and breathtaking views.     

We'll wake up on day three in Golden, and spend the next two days in and out of bounds at Kicking Horse Resort, offering powdery rewards for even the shortest of hikes beyond the boundary.  The next morning we'll decide between skiing another morning at the Horse, driving 3.5 hours for the afternoon of skiing in Fernie, or relaxing on this travel day with a long stop at one of three natural hot springs along the way.                    

On days six and seven we'll explore the resort in Fernie in and out of bounds, and leave day eight open for one of three options; driving 1.5 hr to Castle Mountain for the day, skiing a third day at Fernie, or relaxing in town. Day nine will be an early start for the Calgary Airport 2.5 hrs from Fernie.
